RI-1505S - RECOM Power

RI-1505S Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended PCB layout for optimal thermal performance?
  RECOM recommends a PCB layout with a large copper area connected to the module's thermal pad to ensure good heat dissipation. A minimum of 2 oz copper thickness is recommended, and the copper area should be connected to a heat sink or a metal plate for further heat dissipation.
• Can I use the RI-1505S in a high-vibration environment?
  Yes, the RI-1505S is designed to withstand high-vibration environments. However, it's recommended to follow the recommended mounting procedure and ensure the module is securely fastened to the PCB or chassis to prevent damage or dislodging.
• What is the maximum allowable capacitance for the input and output capacitors?
  The maximum allowable capacitance for the input and output capacitors is not explicitly stated in the datasheet. However, RECOM recommends using capacitors with a maximum capacitance of 10uF for the input and 22uF for the output to ensure stable operation and minimize the risk of oscillation.
• Can I use the RI-1505S in a humid or wet environment?
  The RI-1505S is designed to operate in a dry environment with a relative humidity of up to 60%. Operating the module in a humid or wet environment may lead to reduced reliability and lifespan. If operation in a humid environment is necessary, consider using conformal coating or potting to protect the module.
• What is the recommended input voltage range for the RI-1505S?
  The recommended input voltage range for the RI-1505S is 10.5V to 15V. Operating the module outside this range may affect its performance, efficiency, and reliability.
